Tb42 carbie snorkel with dual battery

[Enthree]

Just wondering how different people have sorted out connecting their snorkel to intake with the dual battery in the way?

[taslucas]

Where is your second battery? Against the fire wall on passenger side?

It's over the wheel arch. Pretty much the same spot as factory batter but other side, and the area behind the strut tower is filled up with all that log goodness

*LPG?

Can you upload a photo? You may be able to relocate the LPG bits

Hmm that last pic looks like it might be some kind of air restriction for a cold engine? Is there anything attached to it? What does it look like inside?
Mine doesn't have that bit, just flexible hose from the carby to the airbox which is where your second battery is.

only thing attatched is a port from the exhaust manifold
and on the inside there is a butterfly that looks like it lifts when the engine is running

Ah yep that would be to direct warm air into the intake on cold start up. If it were me Id remove it when sorting out the snorkel. It is, after all, another hole water can get it.

yeah thats what im hoping to do just wanted to check to see if it would cause any dramas taking it out

now just to work out the best way to block the whole in the exhaust manifold

[taslucas]

I reckon you might find that the hole in the exhaust manifold is only into the heat shield and not into the actual manifold

I'll soon find out

[Enthree]

you were spot on! have taken it out and sloppily reattached the square plastic parts together and will see how it goes

[taslucas]

Yes I reckon it would make quite a racket if there was an exhaust dump right off the engine lol.

Having the filter over the carby gives you more options on where you run the snorkel piping too

Trying to look into replacing the stock air filter box with something more water tight. Or at least weld a round pipe off the end of the current one

[Enthree]

Also pretty sure that thing I took off was doing nothing anyway. The bendy pipe that connected the heat shield and it was crushed down the centre of it
